Instructions: Now that you have proven that there is a problem, you must research possible solutions to the problem. You must turn in this research sheet completed with two articles attached that show possible solutions and why they would work

III. There are many possible solutions to this problem. The possible solutions are increasing the minimun wage in the country to $9.25 to help the people that can bearly survive. Increasing the minimun wage will help the economy by people having more money to spend on goods to help the businesses. It will also make the people not suffer of needs that they need for them and their families. It will help everyone in society especailly the people who are bearly surviving in this economy.

IV. The solution I propose is to raise the minimun wage in our country to 9.25. I believe this bill should be passed by this year in the end of May.



V. I think this solution will work because it will help the people who are unskilled and it will also help the economy. 1 in 5 federally contracted workers earns less than the poverty level for a family of four. I believe that raising the minimun wage will help out more Americans and it will also help the economy rise with the businesses.
